Council approves Solid Waste District’s Pooches on parade budget and tax levy heads for ballot Submitted by the Solid Waste Alternatives Program

The San Juan County Council, acting as “governing body” for the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District, has unanimously approved the district’s budget for 2013 and property tax levy. The budget projects revenues of $364,577 and expenses of $330,577. The projected revenues include $100,000 from the Lopez property tax levy that will be on the Nov. 6 ballot. With these two actions, council members completed the steps needed to fund the LSWDD, which will assume responsibility for operation of the Lopez solid waste and recycling facility in December. “We’re very pleased with the council’s action and excited to be officially taking responsibility for the Lopez solid waste program,” said Larry Eppenbach, LSWDD board secretary. “We did not get this far alone. Many, many people on Lopez worked hard to achieve our goal of local

control. Many individuals at the county level deserve credit as well. Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord helped enormously. Frank Mulcahy, Ed Hale and Russ Harvey at Public Works, and Milene Henley, county auditor, and her staff were also very helpful. But it was the council that made it all possible. Jamie Stephens and all the other members of the council, most notably Chairwoman Patty Miller, all pitched in to make this happen. They did the heavy lifting on Tuesday.” The managing board of the LSWDD includes Page Read, Sandy Bishop, Larry Eppenbach, Dan Post and Bruce Creps. More information about the district can be found at www.lopezsolidwaste.org.

Background on Lopez Island’s solid waste In May, more than 1,200 Lopezians signed a petition asking the council to create a district to take over operation of the Lopez dump and recycling center. Miller asked for signatures of 550 registered voters as a “show of support” that Lopez property owners would be willing to help finance the district with property taxes. The petition-signers pledged to vote for an estimated $.08 per $1,000 of valuation property tax measure in November. Miller said the district will only work if the propThe family of erty tax measure is passed because otherwise there is not enough revenue to

September 2011 volunteers were given the choice of working on gardens at the LOHO Project for Seniors or going to seniors’ homes somewhere on our island. My husband and I chose a site visit and had a wonderful time — and provided much-needed physical labor trimming a pine hedge that the homeowners could no longer maintain. Not only did we benefit from our day of service, but we made new friends in the process. Working along the street on a beautiful, sunny

day we encountered lots of people out walking, biking, driving — and they were curious about what we were doing. I think a lot of people haven’t heard of this national day of service that benefits the families that United Way serves. The Lopez Children’s Center has been open since 2003.

Guest Column

A quarterly review of county finances By F. Milene Henley San Juan County Auditor

In my first year as auditor, the first time I went out on a limb to project revenue, it was to say that sales tax revenue that year would not meet budget. Having no experience in forecasting, I was way out of my comfort zone in saying that. I was relieved the next week to see the local paper reporting the same thing: that sales tax revenue would fall short that year. When I read the article, however, I was chagrined to see that the paper’s source for that projection was me. I’ve come a ways since then. I’ve developed tools for reviewing revenue, and I have a few years of good historical data to build on. Nonetheless, forecasting revenue, particularly sales tax, remains a challenge. Sales tax is a critical revenue to San Juan County. Before the levy lift, it represented about 1/3 of the county’s general fund revenue. With the levy lift, it’s still about 26 percent, second

F. Milene Henley only to property tax. Because sales are typically concentrated in incorporated areas, and San Juan County has only one incorporated area, sales tax revenue is more significant for San Juan County than for most counties. Even in San Juan County, about 29 percent of county-wide sales subject to sale tax take place in Friday Harbor. The problem with sales tax is that it is highly variable with the

economy. Sales tax grew more than 10 percent from 2005 to 2006. The following year, it grew only .3 percent. Since then, it has increased twice and decreased twice. This year, based on results through June, it looks like sales tax will fall again. The good news is that revenue is up in other areas. Planning and permitting revenue, in particular, is up by about the same dollar amount sales tax revenue is down. With that, it looks like there will be no need for a mid-year budget correction this year, the first time in four years. Expenditures are also on track to finish 2012 within budget. The departure of administrative staff resulted in some unexpected costs related to leave payout, but those expenditures should be largely manageable within budgeted contingency funds. Despite favorable results this year, we’re still not out of the woods. Status quo expenditures continue to outpace status quo revenues, and council continues to look for structural and oper-

ational ways to contain costs. Unfortunately, in an environment in which one of our major revenue sources has fallen significantly in recent years, it is unlikely that we can maintain our current levels of service without some increases in revenue, as well. For now, I’m taking sales tax revenue forecasting into my own hands, and I invite you, as concerned citizens, to do your part. Invite your relatives to visit. Invite

You can save money on your trash disposal bill while turning your lawn clippings, plant materials, and other green waste into a free soil amendment. Composting on-site is more convenient than hauling your yard waste to a disposal location. It’s also more hygienic to compost your food waste than to mix it with your trash that gets trucked, ferried, and railed to the mainland. Composting saves landfill space and helps to keep “resources” on-island. Burning leaves and brush produces air pollution…so why not add them to your compost pile instead?

LAPS celebrates 10 years In 2002, the Lopez Animal Protection Society officially became a nonprofit. This year they celebrate 10 years of enhancing and protecting the lives of domestic animals on Lopez Island. “It’s hard to believe it has been this long,” said Jane Albrecht, LAPS president. “Every year there have been new challenges, but it has worked so well because of community support. It has been great to see the attitudes about pets and the importance of spay and neutering. Lopez has evolved into a healthier safer place for animals.” The nonprofit status has been important because it allows LAPS to accept tax deductible donations and apply for grants. They also offer testing equipment for the feline leukemia virus and the feline immunodeficiency virus, spay and neuter procedures and microchips for identifying pets – all at reduced cost. But even before officially becoming a nonprofit, from 1986 to 2002, volunteers served as advocates in a less formal capacity as part of an umbrella group with Orcas Island colleagues and the Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society.

This year they celebrate 10 years of enhancing and protecting the lives of domestic animals on Lopez Island. the Orcas Island Protection Society was formed and constructed their own shelter, Lopez animal advocates were inspired to move forward with their own society. A valuable cooperative relationship continues with the animal protection societies on Orcas and San Juan, say LAPS staff. During all these years of caring for animals, community contributions have been the main source of funding, according to Joyce Myhr, LAPS secretary. Their biggest expense also remains

constant: animal care costs. LAPS is an all volunteer organization operating from their homes to reduce administrative costs. “LAPS looks forward to serving the Lopez community for many years to come and invites you to stop by their booth at the Aug. 4 canine promenade (read more on page 1) to help celebrate their anniversary and learn more about their programs – and volunteer opportunities,” said Myhr.

The exhibit will feature artwork in all media including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and encaustic painting as well as pastel, photography, mixed media, pottery, and glass and sculpture.

keep the transfer station running. “If people are charged too much for garbage, they won’t utilize it,” she said. According to Eppenbach, the district’s advisor y board nominees told the council that failure is not an option. “We are not directing any significant energy to this

winter in the islands. Details for submissions for this exhibit will be announced in the coming months. Artists wishing to be part of this local artist exhibit opportunity are invited to submit an application to the Artist Registry program. All San Juan County visual artists are eligible to be part of the IMA Visual Artist Registry which can be viewed at www.sjima. org and clicking on Artist Registry. Applications and information can also be downloaded at www.imaartistregistry.com or by contacting Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso, 378-6725 or Beth Hetrick, 378-8375.

‘what if?’ However, the community of Lopez has worked toward this goal for 20 years and we will not give up,” he said. “We told the council that we would certainly be back responding to their RFP [request for proposal] with a modified service plan should the ballot measure not succeed.” If the district is successful, Eppenbach said the biggest change for Lopez regarding solid waste will be local control. There will be a suggestion box, and the district will be inviting

ideas and inputs from locals. The recycling service will revert to a free source-separated operation and will produce the highest return value. The district plans to expand recycling services over time. For a small fee, there will be an option to dispose of recyclables in commingled form. Other big changes will come in cost savings. The district is working to find an inexpensive means to dispose of waste glass, which because of its weight is costly to transport. The recycling center “Take-It-Or-Leave-It” will be improved with volunteers organized by the district. – Cali Bagby, Weekly editor, contributed to this story.
